Total amount invested = 5000
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "amount invested at 5.00% = x
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "amount invested at 8.00% = 5000 -x
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Return on investment = 7.00% on 5000
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "5.00% x+ 8.00% ( 5000 -x)= 7.00% * 5000
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 100
\n" ); document.write( "5 x+ 8 ( 5000 -x)= 7 * 5000
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "5 x+ 40000 - 8 x= 35000
\n" ); document.write( "-3 x= -5000
\n" ); document.write( "/ -3
\n" ); document.write( "x=1666.67
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
